Also Ran
By Carrie Doubleyew
Lemme guess where you've gone? To see a man about a dog?
Or something else today is it? Where in your life do I fit?
Aren't you supposed to be my man?
Always something keeping you, something old someone new?
Something borrowed someone's due, knit me in wherever you can
Aren't you supposed to be my man?
Chorus:
I used to finish in first place
No contest here, I'd won the race
But that was then and this is now
Who made me an also ran
Like a little lap dog, I sit and wait, will you pick me today m'lord?
Like a service on a jury bench, I sit and wait to be called
But you're supposed to be my man
You lock them in, days in advance
Your boys your mates your fam
Can't live without those plans
Where's my text while you play out
Even they have gone to ground
Chorus:
I used to finish in first place
No contest here, I'd won the race
But that was then and this is now
Who made me an also ran?
They tell me I'm the one to blame
That even they can feel my shame
Hey girl why are you doing that?
He laughs at you behind your back
Is he supposed to be your man?
Did you buy those brand new shoes
To walk all over me
Should have saved your money babe
You're not the first you see
You showed me, you ain't no man
Chorus:
I used to finish in first place
No contest here, I'd won the race
But that was then and this is now
Who made me an also ran?
